I think you are being very kind to call that fool a truck driver. How high is the load? Who knows and who cares, I just sit in the seat and steer.

I sure hope that driver's head hurts. Hauling a 240deere on a lowboy should easily make 14' Someone like that got what they deserve!

Do you think that stick cylinder is for sale?
Gosh, this is totally insane. A lot of this could be avoided if people just think ahead about the possible consequenses of doing things incorrectly or incomplete.

Hey at least the train didn't get into it, imagine what a wreck that would have been. I predict the insurance co. will drop trucker like a hot rock.

We used to move draglines with the operator in the cab, so he could swing the boom as I went around corners.
Can you imagine being in that cab and seeing that bridge coming?

Without a doubt it's a lot of weight at high speed pushing in the correct direction, but it seems like not much more than gravity holds that railroad bridge in place.

Most bridges sit on a bearing and not much more.

Quoted from comedian Bill Engvall, goes something like this:
Police Officer: "Was your truck too high to go under that bridge?"
Driver: "No officer, I was hauling that bridge down the road and my truck just happened to run out of fuel. Here's your sign!"
